pabloadoue/find-value

This library is a fork of find-value originaly created by IONICĂ BIZĂU. I just updated the library to TypeScript so that in can be used without the need to define types, and added testing to the source code.

Find object values by passing the path as string.

Installation

# Using npm
npm install --save @pabloadoue/find-value

# Using yarn
yarn add @pabloadoue/find-value

Example

import findValue from "@pabloadoue/find-value";

//Any type of object
const object = {
    location: {
        planet: "Mars", 
        town: "Somewhere"
    }, 
    names: [
      {
        first: "Alice", 
        age: 19 
      },
      { 
        first: "Bob", 
        age: 20 
      }
    ]
};

console.log(findValue(object, "location.planet"));
// => "Mars"

console.log(findValue(object, "names"));
// => [ { first: "Alice", age: 19 }, { first: "Bob", age: 20 } ]

console.log(findValue(object, "names.0.first"));
// => "Alice"

console.log(findValue(object, "names.1.age"));
// => 20

console.log(findValue(object, "something.that.does.not.exist"));
// => undefined
